Hostyle Conditioning - one on one, taming the Prowler!

Well once again I ventured into the Hostyle environment for my weekly one on one class. I worked hard last week with 6 days of training and a couple of power walks in the mix.

We worked on some kettle bell moves then I was challenged by our little friend the Prowler to see what I could do!

Here is what I did and what happened...

First section:

2 moves, 30 seconds of each, 2 sets, 1 minute rest
Kettle bell deadlifts (2 16kg)
Kettle Bell Upright rows (16kg)

Did this for 3 rounds

1 minute rest

Second section:

2 moves, 30 seconds again, 2 sets, 1 minute rest
Kettle bell swings (16kg)
Kettle bell presses from shoulder rack position (12kg)

Did 2 rounds of this, last round pressed the 16kg, last round of swings went to 12 o`clock position

2 minute rest...

Prowler time..
Each cycle was 2 lengths of the studio

First round was empty Prowler
30 second rest
2 kettle bells added to sled (70lb)
30 second rest
4 kettle bells added to sled (141lb)
30 second rest
6 kettle bells added to sled (212lb)
30 second rest
8 kettle bells added to sled (282lb)
30 seconds rest
10 kettle bells added to sled!! (353lb)

I managed 1 length of the gym.

30 seconds rest, I decided to go for 12 Bells loaded on the prowler! Wanted to see if I could move it, I was spent, but had to try it! :)

12 kettle bells added to sled (423lb!!)

I managed to do half a length, was very happy with this.

By the way, it is carpet we are moving it over, not an easy surface to use! :)

Happy with my results today! Also happy I challenged to Prowler and kicked it`s butt!
